Hi Ken;

This helps a lot. Thanks so much. I really appreciate the help.

It's Hope who I'd be descended from if it's all true.

The Society didn't mention any of that in their rejection letter. Here is my line as I have it, maybe you could let me know, if you have the book, whether this would go back to James instead?

Gen4 from me would be: Delilah Chipman and husband

Gen5 her parents Levi Walcott Chipman Jr & Maria Elizabeth Swink

Gen6 Levi Walcott Chipman Sr & Delilah Cook

(the marriages up til here are in the state database, and other proofs could come from the census forms)

Then I have 2 Benjamins next.

Gen7 Benjamin Chipman & Sarah Walcott

Gen8 Benjamin Chipman & Mary (?)

Gen9 Perez Chipman & Margaret Wheeler

Gen10 John Chipman & Mary Skiff

Gen 11 John Chipman & Hope Howland

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks so much!!
